Double semi-truck crash reported on I-55 

NEAR FESTUS, MO – One man lost his life, and another man was injured after a rear-end truck collision reported before 7:30 a.m. Monday on I-55 south of Festus.

Missouri Highway Patrol said the driver of a 2021 Freightliner Cascadia had struck the back of a 2020 Peterbilt 389.

Troopers said the Freightliner driver died at the scene, while the Peterbilt driver was hospitalized for minor injuries.

The surviving occupant is recovering at Mercy Hospital Jefferson. He has since been identified as a 50-year-old Alabama man. The deceased individual was identified as a 49-year-old Perryville man.

Joachim Plattin ambulance crews and the Jefferson County and Genevieve County Sheriff’s Office all assisted with the scene of a crash.
